Yesterday Now
Memorial Day 2020
Friday 31st of January 2020, h. 11am
Centro Brera Critica Sociale, Via Formentini 10
Edited by Barbara Nahmad
with the collaboration of Stefano Carluccio and Stefano Pizzi
For the twentieth anniversary of the Memorial Day, the Accademia di Brera is giving its contribution with two events - open to all citizens - scheduled for the 31st of January 2020 at the Centro Brera Critica Sociale, starting at 11am. Of both is curated by Professor Barbara Nahmad with the collaboration of Professor Stefano Pizzi and Stefano Carluccio, The two events will take place in sequence.
The first is a round table that will be attended by the honorable Emanuele Fiano, son of Nedo, survivor of Auschwitz and parliamentarian of the Italian Republic, Stefano Levi Della Torre, essayist and professor at the Politecnico di Milano, Elena Loewenthal, writer and translator and Ruggero Gabbai, cinematographic director. Moderated by Barbara Nahmad. The theme of the round table is among the most important of our present: how to perpetuate the memory of the Holocaust through a method of communication that is not repetitive and that can be accepted by our liquid society as a food for thought? And again: after twenty years of debate, what kind of approach is needed today in order not to empty the Memorial Day of its meaning? These are the questions from which the dialogue with the guests will develop, with particular attention to the need to renew the spirit of the Memorial Day now that the witness is inevitably passing from the survivors to those who do not have a direct memory of those happenings.
The second event, at the end of the round table, will consist of the screening of “Kinderblock. L’ultimo inganno” by director Ruggero Gabbai. A film focused on the reality of children interned in the camps and on Dr. Mengele's experiments.
h. 11am: round table with interventions by:
On. Emanuele Fiano, son of Nedo, survivor of Auschwitz and parliamentarian of the Italian Republic.
Ruggero Gabbai, cinematographic director of “ Kinderblock. L’ultimo inganno”
Stefano Levi Della Torre, teacher at the Politecnico di Milano, essayist and painter.
h. 12.30am: screening of the film “Kinderblock, L’ultimo inganno”, 2020
Introduction to the film by director Ruggero Gabbai
The students of the Accademia di Brera enter the future and tell the world about it.
On Tuesday and Thursday, the Accademia di Brera will be the protagonist of three events at MDW2020.
The 3rd Edition of Milan Digital Week opens on Monday 25th of May, the most digital week of the year. MDW2020, in a completely online version, wants to reiterate the importance of an open and inclusive discussion on issues that are today conveyed and supported by digital: from work to education, from governance to the environment, up to the sustainable economy. Up to Friday 30th of May there will be over 500 events open to all, including three events signed by the students of the Accademia di Brera that we present in detail.
FAKE LAKE - ONLINE GROUP SHOW
h. 8.00 pm - 12 pm Collegamento su Zoom
https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/98417988100
exhibition website: www.fakelake.org
"Fake Lake" is an online exhibition born from a collaboration between the students of the Department of New Art Technologies at the Accademia di Brera, Milan (IT) and the students of the research seminar "The Art of the self: identity and self-representation from diary to artificial intelligence (AI) ”, at the University of Berkeley, California (US).
Artist: Aaron BARNABAS | Alina Akhaminova | Ariel HELLER | Ashley REED | Aurelia SCHEPPERS | Bailey SANDLER | Ben MICALLEF | Christian DIAZ | Cristina ANGELORO | Dua SHAMSI | Erik NUDING | Giuseppe COCCURULLO | Iris MORREL | Jack MORRISSEY | Jenna MATTISON and Olivia DUTCHER | Jenna RINGUETTE | Kiely LAM | Li SHIYUN | Luca MARCELLI | Mario NOLASCO | Mattia CARLÀ | Regina MADANGUIT | Robert ATKINS | Silvia PORRO | Tanica MARMAI
In an era in which personal life is conveyed by continuous automatisms and mediated by online experiences, the Fake Lake site becomes a safe zone in which the artists of the project try to disconnect from the accelerated routine of contemporary life to allow themselves a moment of introspection and reflection, to analyze their feelings and look for new ways to express them online. But how without being tracked, monitored and cataloged by a capitalist algorithmic control system that will later try to exploit them in its favor? How to express them without entering the 'trap' of the objectification of the body and the fascination of facial masks, means used to collect data and faces? The image becomes an infinite resource of information and habits, and the online existence requires us to passively accept this continuous archiving by the major majors. The impossibility of being able to evade this mechanism sometimes unconsciously translates into the impossibility of seeing a future not corrupted by ephemeral interests, causing a great mass disillusionment. How is it possible to react within this mechanism?

Illustrations for pediatric environments
Artistic contest to enhance the common areas of the pediatric wards of the Gaetano Pini hospital in Milan.
There are walls that not only limit spaces, but also risk limiting imagination, happiness, inspiration. The walls of a pediatric ward are that kind of walls and it would be nice to be able to tear them down because they are superfluous. Unfortunately, however, they are necessary and then we just have to transform them into imagination, happiness, inspiration.
Take part in the contest and win twice: win the prize and win the gaze of a child who, looking at your wall, will no longer see the wall of a pediatric ward.

Planning and design
The Volunteer Association "Il Mosaico" based in Giussano, Piazzale Aldo Moro 1, registered in the Regional Register of private legal entities and in the Regional Register of Volunteering, announces a competition for the disbursement of a contribution to the most deserving projects for design of a SIDEBOARD to be placed in a property confiscated from organized crime, which has now become a common good through the CASANOSTRA social project.
IL MOSAICO is a non-profit association founded in 2001 with the following objectives:
CASANOSTRA is a social project managed by IL MOSAICO and the SOLARIS social cooperative of Triuggio (MB) with the contribution of numerous associations and organizations in the area that guarantee real and significant moments of social inclusion.
In addition to offering the opportunity to remember a friend (Paolo Somaschini), this competition aims to respond in a timely and diversified manner to the mandate of the social project.
The IL MOSAICO association announces a competition of ideas for the identification of a type of SIDEBOARD, in which the concepts of social inclusion and legality are expressed and valued in a prevalent (but not necessarily exclusive) way and which vehicles values and identity of the IL MOSAICO association and of the CASANOSTRA social project.
The dimensions must take into account the environment in which it will be inserted. The solutions presented must be original and unprecedented in their compliance with the specific functionality, in compliance with current safety legislation, in compliance with ergonomic requirements and attention to environmental and sustainable design requirements.
The winning project will be completed by the year 2020.
In recent years, design planning has acquired an increasingly social and anthropological value, developing the concept of "Design for Health" or the design and construction of objects, even common ones, which take into account the physical and cognitive differences of the various users. Starting from the definitions of "design for all", it is clear that attention to the physical and psychological needs of the user is central and the need to develop objects that are not discriminatory and that bring the user back into society. The competition aims to raise awareness of the social utility of design, placing ethical and social issues at the center of the design process.
The sideboard must have spaces for the containment of supplies and kitchen material. The possibility of making the sideboard or some of its components mobile is desirable to encourage moments of group teaching work in the area of food preparation.

Art Contest Marie Marzloff
Promoted by CESIE, Art and act is an artistic competition inspired by the passions and ideas of Marie Marzloff.
The competition stems from her interest in art, literature and interculturality and from the causes dear to her, gender equality, intercultural dialogue and international cooperation.
It aims to continue the work that Marie has begun to ensure that her ideas and passions last over time.
Contest theme 2020: Community windows.
2020 redesigns, on a global level, the spaces and times of our community life, bringing with it the reflection on connected social changes. The window is our new point of observation, real and metaphorical, on the world around us and on the scenarios that await it, whether they are linked to our local community or to the world-community. Inequalities are accentuated and new perspectives for cooperation and dialogue are glimpsed and seem necessary. We learned to observe the world from a distance and we got closer to ourselves by practicing a strong introspection. The experience of "me without the other" makes us reflect on the sense of community and challenges us to continue building new identities and meanings.
And you, what "community imagery" do you observe from your window?
We ask artists, professionals and non-professionals, students, young people, to send a work that interprets the theme chosen for the 2020 edition.
The works must be able to stimulate reflection and reflect creative ideas that show opportunities and considerations of a conceptual, social and political nature and must be inspired by the theme chosen for this year and the spirit of the competition. Candidates must send an original work. All types of works related to graphic arts are allowed: drawings, illustrations, paintings, digital illustrations, photographs, comics, collages and more. Artistic collectives can also take part in the competition. Each artist or collective can participate by presenting a single work.
The contest is open to people from all over the world, without any age limit. Participation is free.
To participate you must:
The works received will be evaluated taking into account the following aspects:
The members of the International Jury will be announced by the 15th of June 2020.
The winning works will be announced by the 1st of December 2020. The following prizes will be awarded:
Youth Award
A special award will be set up for works submitted by artists under the age of 211. Furthermore, the winning works can be used for CESIE communication campaigns.
